My grandfather was born in Janowka, tarnopol, Poland as listed on marriage
certificate. Our legs of the family tree have traced grandma to Zbarash,
Poland as birth place. Do I have concrete knowledge, prob not!!! And as
you I will continue to research. My grandmother always said she was
Ukrainian, and that is the language they and my father spoke at home. What
made me deduce, for the time being, that she IS Ukrainian was the way the
food was made as well as the spelling. My grandmother only spoke Ukrainian
but my grandfather spoke several languages, prob simply for survival. T
here has also been talk of the name being changed and at one time it was
german. All of this I am still gathering info on and grab any little bit
of insight in to my past. Everything does offer one just a little bit more
info and just a little bit closer to the truth. Like you, there are many
topics spoke of on the list that offer no advice, insight, interest to me or
my search. Like others I simply hit the delete button. But I do think that
reading the posts offers more knowlegde to our past. I am very new at
researching genealogy and appreciate any new info obout my ancestry that I
can.
Thanks for your insight into my conclusion.

annoying some, and I can understand that. But now the conversation is
really getting interesting and is definitely part of our cultural heritage.

immediately interest me.

production tenfold or more, from either one of you.

food you were of Ukrainian descent ?
> It is my understanding, that my grandmother who lived in Wilno (possibly
Vilnius, not really sure, just have Wilno on her Russian Passport for circa
1913/1914), lived among the Jewish people who were her neighbors.
> She was Moslem, of Tatar descent, I believe, spoke a dialect from the
area, which included words of several languages, made parougies, stuffed
cabbage, khoulomi, lung, tsimis, and many other foods of the various ethnic
people who she lived among.
> I am not sure one can come to a conclusion that one is Ukrainian, well one
could, but, I have gone from believing I was Russian/Ukrainian/Polish/Tatar
to believing I was Ukrainian (based upon where my paternal grandfather came
from) to Polish, based upon Petitions for Naturalization, to Tatar based
upon researching mom's side, to the current,
Polish/Ukrainian/Tatar/Belorusyn/Lithuanian/Russian/Galician/Lemko, based
upon everything I have come across.
> In other words, I have gone full circle and added some, including Hebrew,
being listed on two of the grandparent's manifest.

that at times the Ukrainians hated the Poles and the Poles hated the
Russians, etc.

enjoy each others companionship and company.
